Eggplant is one of the favorite vegetables of the Mediterranean region. It’s no surprise that baba ghanoush, a dip made from grilled eggplant and tahini, enriched with garlic and spices, is so popular there!
These ingredients are a source of plant-based protein, healthy fats, macronutrients, and vitamins, which makes this seemingly simple dip incredibly beneficial. The secret to a good baba ghanoush is the charred eggplant – ideally smoked or roasted over an open flame. It’s worth sprinkling it with chopped parsley, pomegranate seeds, and drizzling it with olive oil. For decoration, you can use fresh mint leaves and spices such as cumin and smoked paprika.
